I really wanted to give the Heated Pearls a go for Lisa's great Warm It Up challenge today. I always seem to end up making spacy galactic masculine/boy cards with it, and I was determined to make a more feminine version.
Tutorial linked above. I rubbed distress oxides into the glossy card and dried them with the heat gun, then followed the tutorial stippling in first glue and then three colours of Perfect Pearls. Trimmed it, stamped the sentiment and added a gold border. Watery waves cut from glitter card, and actually there are little sparkles of silver Stickles added in amongst them - pouring rain here so the light isn't good. I was going to stamp a dragonfly, but this one has been on my desk, recycled from an old card which is too faded after years on my shelf, so now it's got a new lease of life.

Oh my Sabrina your BG turned out great with the heated pearls. Love that you were able to use that dragon fly from another card. It is perfect. The glitter waves really works wonderful with the BG. Thank you for creating a second card for the challenge.

This is just gorgeous Sabrina. All that sparkle is stunning, and I love how you blended the bg colors. The touches of gold and the sparkling waves are beautiful.
